Just one further useful data point: I've verified that the tulip driver
that comes with linux 2.2.20, v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99, works perfectly. It's
only the 2.4.20 driver, 0.9.15-pre12 8/9/02 that causes the problem.
Sometimes the card only stays up for a few seconds at a time before it
needs to be ifdown/ifup again; other times it lasts a little longer.
